I feel amazing at the moment

This post is for all those who are suffering from Sz and/or negative symptoms

Believe me, I’ve been through it all and I actually had a suicide attempt but escaped with a minor skull fracture

I’ve had periods of apathy and not being able to feel emotions and generally feeling very low and down, which caused me to try and take my life

My advice is whatever the situation, time wil heal all wounds. I still take medication, I’ve been on Olanzapine 20mg for the last three years - I take the meds without fail, and I know they come with so many side effects (weight gain myself) but my advice is please stick with your agreed treatment plan with your Dr

My example, proves that it’s possible to turn things around

I want to thank the people on this Forum for their support when things were bad

What did change and what did you do?

The biggest step was to stop evading the issue and admit I had mental health issues

Once that hapenned, I complied with the meds and my sanity returned and situation improved

Also, big help was to have the support of my immediate family and to listen to the professionals who tried to help me like mental health nurses and psychologists

I meant what did improve? Weren’t you a med student? Are you now able to work?

Yes, I was a med student but a path to return to medicine is very complicated

I now run my own web design and digital marketing agency
